October 19 & 26 - optional 20-minute stewardship presentation after church by Greg Freeman and the stewardship committee, with time for Q&A. Find out where our money goes and why it goes there. And ask questions!

November 2- Pledge Ingathering Sunday. Bring your completed pledge cards back to church to place in the offering plate.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A TREASURER Our faithful, beloved Larry Johnson is retiring from his post as treasurer, and we are now looking for someone to step into this role, starting in January. This is a very important ministry, but also manageable. Please feel free to talk to Astrid if you want more information about what it involves before you consider taking it on.

THE "EVERYTHING ROTA" The rota through November is available HERE and on our website.
